钼单晶体中亚晶界位错结构的研究

本文应用蚀象法对电子束浮区区熔法制得的原生态钼单晶体中的亚晶界位错结构进行了直接观测。对于实验结果进行了细致的分析,并与亚晶界的Frank公式的一些预期结果比较,全面地证实了理论预测。对(111)面上平行蚀线方向的测量表明,它们大体沿着1/2〈111〉刃型位错的滑移面及攀移面的交线,从而证实了它们是这种位错所组成的一组位错倾侧型晶界。通过对蚀斑三叉亚晶界的分析,检验了推广后的Read-Shockley公式,同时表明存在着两组位错的倾侧晶界。对于(111)面上观察到的15组蚀线网络进行了分析,结果表明其中5组是1/2〈111〉/〈100〉网络,9组是〈100〉/〈110〉网络。分析中,除去应用Carrington等所发展的极图分析法以外,我们还根据Frank公式所规定的网线间距的关系式,提出了进一步定量检验的分析方法。实践证明,当极图分析不能获得唯一的结果时,这种定量检验法可以有效地确定位错网络的Burgers矢量。此外,我们还观察到奇位错和亚晶界交互作用的事例,特别是奇位错在亚晶界上引起“台阶”以及夹杂物和亚晶界交互作用的迹象。不同类型的亚晶界交接以及非平衡态的亚晶界也是经常可以观察到的。以上结果表明,蚀象法对于定量地研究原生态晶体中的亚晶界位错结构是极其有效的,其能力并不亚于电子显微镜薄膜透射法。

Deformation study of bicrystalline and nano-polycrystalline structures using phase field crystal method

Deformation behaviors of bicrystalline and nano-polycrystalline structures of various tilt angles and inclination angles in two dimensions are investigated in detail using a two-mode phase field crystal model.The interaction between grain boundary(GB)and dislocation is also examined in bicrystals and nano-polycrystals that both contain asymmetric and symmetric tilt GBs,with energy analysis being carried out to analyze these processes.During deformation simulations,we assume the volume of each simulation cell at every time step is coincident with that of the initial state just before deformation.Our simulation results show that the behaviors of symmetric and asymmetric GBs in bicrystals and nano-polycrystals differ from each other depending on tilt angle and inclination angle.A new dislocation emission mechanism of interest is observed in bicrystals which contain low angle symmetric tilt GBs.Low angle GB has a higher mobility relative to high angle GB in both bicrystalline and nano-polycrystalline structures,as does asymmetric GB to symmetric GB.The generation,motion,pileup and annihilation of dislocations,grain rotation and grain coalescence are observed,which is consistent with the simulation results obtained by molecular dynamics.These simulation results can provide strong guidelines for experimentation.

Coupled motion of [10−10] tilt boundaries in magnesium bicrystals

Magnesium bicrystals were grown with symmetric and asymmetric tilt boundaries about the [10–10] axis using the vertical Bridgman technique. Isothermal constant load tensile tests were conducted on these bicrystals in the temperature range 300–500°C and relative displacements of the two grains were measured to obtain an appreciation for grain boundary motion characteristics. Coupled grain boundary motion was noted in almost all cases with the degree of tangential motion versus migration changing with tilt misorientation, temperature and applied stress. Specifically, within the family of symmetric bicrystals evaluated, a minimum in grain boundary displacement in the specimen plane was observed at a tilt misorientation of 20°. In specific stress/temperature regimes, rigid body sliding was observed for the particular case of a 35° asymmetric tilt misorientation. The ease of basal and prism slip in magnesium at the temperatures considered and the consequential impingement of intragranular dislocations on the bicrystal boundary and their decomposition and motion along the boundary are thought to play an important role in the observed coupled motion of these tilt boundaries.     

Asymmetric tilt grain boundary structure and energy in copper and aluminium

Atomistic simulations were employed to investigate the structure and energy of asymmetric tilt grain boundaries in Cu and Al. In this work, we examine the Σ5 and Σ13 systems with a boundary plane rotated about the ? 100 ? misorientation axis, and the Σ9 and Σ11 systems rotated about the ? 110 ? misorientation axis. Asymmetric tilt grain boundary energies are calculated as a function of inclination angle and compared with an energy relationship based on faceting into the two symmetric tilt grain boundaries in each system. We find that asymmetric tilt boundaries with low index normals do not necessarily have lower energies than boundaries with similar inclination angles, contrary to previous studies. Further analysis of grain boundary structures provides insight into the asymmetric tilt grain boundary energy. The Σ5 and Σ13 systems in the ? 100 ? system agree with the aforementioned energy relationship; structures confirm that these asymmetric boundaries facet into the symmetric tilt boundaries. The Σ9 and Σ11 systems in the ? 110 ? system deviate from the idealized energy relationship. As the boundary inclination angle increases towards the Σ9 (221) and Σ11 (332) symmetric tilt boundaries, the minimum energy asymmetric boundary structures contain low index {111} and {110} planes bounding the interface region.     

Collective motion of atoms in grain boundary migration of a bcc metal

Molecular dynamics simulations of grain boundary (GB) migration of a bcc metal, tungsten, have been carried out. The GB is of asymmetrical ? 110? tilt type. Detailed examinations of atomic processes in the migration, show that the GB migration consists mainly of GB dislocation glides. Furthermore, each motion of a GB dislocation involves a cooperative motion of about three atoms on each of the atomic planes perpendicular to the tilt axis, leading to their realignment from the receding grain to the advancing grain. This collective motion is not synchronized in all of the atomic planes, but appears to be in two or three adjacent planes, suggesting a kink mechanism for glides of the GB dislocations.     

Nucleation and growth of helium bubble at(110) twist grain boundaries in tungsten studied by molecular dynamics

Migration of He atoms and growth of He bubbles in high angle twist grain boundaries(HAGBs) in tungsten(W) are investigated by atomic simulation method. The energy and free volume(FV) of grain boundary(GB) are affected by the density and structure of dislocation patterns in GB. The migration energy of the He atom between the neighboring trapping sites depends on free volume along the migration path at grain boundary. The region of grain boundary around the He bubble forms an ordered crystal structure when He bubble grows at certain grain boundaries. The He atoms aggregate on the grain boundary plane to form a plate-shape configuration. Furthermore, high grain boundary energy(GBE) results in a large volume of He bubble. Thus, the nucleation and growth of He bubbles in twist grain boundaries depend on the energy of grain boundary, the dislocation patterns and the free volume related migration path on the grain boundary plane.     

Formation of fragments with medium-angle boundaries in shear bands: Computer simulation

The conditions for the formation of fragments with medium-angle boundaries in shear bands are analyzed using computer simulation. It is shown that the main condition for the transformation of weakly disoriented dislocation structures into a fragmented structure is the suppression of active plastic deformation in a subgrain by the elastic fields of disclinations appearing at subgrain boundary junctions as a result of mismatch of plastic rotations in individual subgrain boundaries. Under these conditions, during continued straining in the surrounding matrix, such a subgrain behaves as an undeformed inclusion and experiences a crystallographic rotation. The disorientation of the subgrain continuously increases, thereby transforming initial small-angle dislocation boundaries into medium-angle and (in the limit) large-angle boundaries.     

Effects of boundary inclination and boundary type on shear-driven grain boundary migration

A series of molecular dynamics simulations was performed on a bicrystal to which a fixed shear rate was applied parallel to the boundary plane. Under some conditions, grain boundary motion is coupled to the relative tangential motion of the two grains. In order to investigate the generality of this type of coupled shear/boundary motion, simulations were performed for both special (low Σ) and general (non-Σ) [010] tilt boundaries over a wide range of grain boundary inclinations. The data point to the existence of two critical stresses: one for coupled shear/boundary motion and the other for grain boundary sliding. For the non-Σ boundaries, the critical stress for coupled shear/boundary motion is typically smaller than that for sliding; coupled shear/boundary motion occurs for all inclinations. For Σ5 boundaries, for which the critical stress is smaller and depends on boundary inclination, coupled shear/boundary motion occurs for some, but not all inclinations.     

Grain Boundary Migration in Fe-3wt.%Si Alloys

The studies of three different laboratories on grain boundary migration in Fe-3wt.%Si alloys are presented. In all cases bicrystal techniques employing capillarity as driving force were used. [100] tilt boundaries were studied in the temperature range from 1223 K to 1373 K, and [110] tilt boundaries in the range from 1220 K to 1625 K. Proportionality between grain boundary velocity and driving force was confirmed. All data fulfil a linear relation between activation enthalpies and logarithms of the pre-exponential factors, corresponding to a compensation temperature of 1386 K where all boundaries theoretically should possess the same mobility. A considerably lower activation enthalpy was found in one case for an asymmetrical grain boundary compared to the symmetrical boundary of the same misorientation. High values of activation enthalpy of migration were found for special [100] boundaries compared to general ones although an opposite tendency was also observed for [100] boundaries.
